Instructions

Use only these 3 notes

The limitation is the point. Constraint forces you to be creative with what you have rather than reaching for more notes.

Play a solo — but hunt for a hook

Don't just noodle. Try to land on a short melody you can repeat and it still feels good. That's your hook.

3🎤 Sing every note you play
Hear the note in your head first, then let your fingers find it. Don't just play with your hands — this is what opens the ThirdEar.
